I have two online meetings today 📹 that I’ll do down at the library, making sure my laptops are charging 🔋 now as I doubt 🤷‍♂️ there will be much solar power.

I am starting to think 🤔 I took the wrong weekend to go to Central New York but I don’t know. It was a good weekend to go out and enjoy the colors while they are still left 🍂, they are rapidly fading now as we head closer to November. I don’t have any plans now until mid November and with more days being back in the office 🏢 and less remote work 💻, it gets harder to take long weekends – plus I’m running low on vacation time. ⏳

I don’t mind not having power 🔌 but not having data service for my phone all afternoon although now it’s working again. Not sure if the network was totally overloaded but it was frustrating 😤 getting emails in but not able to respond. 📧 I sat out back for a while but it started to rain so I came inside.

I ended up running in office 🏢 downtown to get to emails because it was bad to be totally off the grid at work all afternoon. Not good for remote working. ⛽ I was very low on gas so I ended up getting gas at the expensive gas station in Albany because Glenmont was still dark on my way home. I was planning on going to the store 🛒 and get some groceries but everything is still dark in Glenmont. Not a lot of trees down but there was no stop lights 🚥 on Delmar bypass.

I thought by now we we would have power 🔌 but at least I have data service. 📶 I can plug things into my truck with the solar come morning. 🌅 But I’m sure by morning I’ll have power. That said I’m using my usual battery 🔋 lantern 🏮 for light in my bedroom and it’s plenty bright. I didn’t do my evening walk 🚶🏻 although it probably wouldn’t have been good with the weather at any rate.

With the latest forecast I decided to stay in town this weekend as it only looks like the hurricane 🌀 will be pushing in earlier than expected and Sunday into Monday will be quite wet.

Slept in a bit this morning 💤 because of the rain and not needing to catch a bus downtown. 🚍 I heard the news 📰 last night that President Trump has the Coronavirus 👾and wasn’t that shocked 😲. A lot of politicians are getting it, they’re around a lot of people. 😷 That said, he really should be wearing a mask.
